This was taken over a 90 minute period, about 10 minute intervals. I used a ASI 224mc camera and a Celestron 9.25 edge with 0.7 reducer and 2.5 powermate. Took the best 40% of 2500 frames for each sequence.
Thanks, It gives an idea on how fast the moons are moving.Chuck, great job, a lot of effort went into making the animation.

Thanks AlanNeat work - I like the result a lot.
Thanks Jim, I've been wanting to do this for a long time and finally decided to take it on. When it gets cooler I will do the sun. Still in the 90's here.I love these animated planet images of yours Chuck. I enjoy sitting and watching it. Great job!
Thanks Mike, You can pick my brain any time, I'm happy to share how I do my processing. I think I'm done for the year on the planets. I took off the powermate and since it is getting clearer at night I will do some deep sky. I just finished the Elephant Trunk and will post it here. I did post it on AB as a final to the one I did 2 years ago.Chuck,
I really look forward to all your planetary stuff - these animations are amazing. Seeing the planet and the shadow transiting across really makes for a special result. If I ever get set back up with my bigger scope I will be going after some stuff along these lines. Will have to pick your brain on techniques a little bit more then
Great stuff, very inspirational, thanks for posting!
